PARK RIDGE, New Jersey — Global rental-car giant Hertz, in a partnership with Group Lotus, said customers will be able to rent the Lotus Evora in several major cities in France, Germany, Spain and the U.K. Evora rentals in Europe are priced from $359 a day.
The Evora is being pitched in Europe as the "hero car" in the new Adrenaline Range in the Hertz Fun Collection, which is patterned after the Hertz Adrenaline Collection in the U.S.
The company said its Adrenaline Range in Europe eventually "will showcase the most exciting new vehicles in Hertz's fleet with high-quality, enhanced performance and beautifully designed vehicles."
The Evora is available to rent from airports and other locations in Barcelona, Biarritz, Bordeaux, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Marseilles, Milan, Munich, Nice, Paris and Rome.
Inside Line says: Not sure about adrenaline, but those prices definitely will raise your blood pressure.

Lotus should just go back to Ford engines
Go Duratec instead of 3S-GE/3S-GTE or 2ZZ-GE
Go 5.0 Coyote instead of 2GR-FE/2GR-FZE
Longitudinal is the way mid-engine car should be

Their resale value have taken hits and can be had around $40K which isn't bad at all, I like the Italian interior even if it is a bit stark and its a very unique car. I just don't know how mechanically sound they are since there is only one dealer in Houston that I know of.

I think $359 / day for a car that shares it's powertrain with a Camry is too much...

Icecube: One of my friends at work bought a Quattroporte. It's nice indeed. He would probably faint if you suggested drilling anything in the car! Too funny. One badass car, though.

Hah! My friend's boss has a Maserati GranTurismo and wanted to race the other boss who owns a Z06 so they went to the track and had the guy drill through to install the harness and all. Then the electronics went awry.
Worst thing is? Its a lease and hes basically up a river without a paddle.

Rent a racer! Wonder if they'll come back with holes in the floorboard where the bolts for the rollcage were? Probably can't get away with that kind of stuff today.
